State owned and managed Indigenous housing 2008-09
Over 11,500 households were living in state owned and managed Indigenous housing at 30 June 2009, occupying 95% of all SOMIH dwellings.
Of these households, 84% paid less than market rent for the dwelling. On average, SOMIH rebated households paid about $123 per week less than the market rent for their dwelling. The remaining 16% of households paid market rent.
During the period 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009, about 1,100 households were newly assisted with SOMIH housing. Of the households for which adequate details were known, approximately half (49%) were classified as being in ‘greatest need’.
